STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING Opens 1/28 At Gene Frankel Theater
A new production, the downtown premiere, of STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING opens January 28th at the Gene Frankel Theatre. STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING mashes up the tale of Peter Pan, the cold calm secrets of author JM Barrie and the neighborhood everyone loves to hate - Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and offers a glimpse of the addictive fervor that was tangible before the cranes came in. Before the pool held concerts. Before the TastyD on Bedford. Part Indie Rock aficionado, part dive-bar junky, the play follows Peter and his cohorts over the course of a 24 hour period as the past comes back, the future seems boring and The Now wins out. Only today, in the rapidly changing playground of Williamsburg, could a play written in 2003 then produced in 2009 be considered a PERIOD PIECE, but that's exactly what this new production of STRAIGHT ON TIL MORNING is.
